the only horrifing thing in this movie was the acting....save your money ...definately not worth it....
It was a pretty good movie and all suspense loves....a must see it.
This might be the best horror movie I have ever seen.It was so disturbing I was on edge for days after seeing it. It combines the twisted things from thrillers like Se7en with the popcorn scenes of a classic horror.I just don`t know if anything I see in the future can measure up to the visceral fear that I felt when I watched "Saw"...
I really enjoyed the movie so much I went to see it twice!
I thought that this movie was a great movie but they should`ve chosen better acters to play the role. i was available you know!!!
I would have given this movie negative a billion stars if I could. It was not scary, it was predictable, it was boring, it was poorly directed, it was poorly acted...it was definitely a waste of a perfectly good $14.
omg so disturbing, kept me on the edge of my seat!
The best part of this movie was the ending. I’ve seen many many movies in my time and the ending of this one just had me in awe. I’ve never seen a movie before where I experienced my mouth just dropping open at the end of it in the same manner as when I saw SAW. If you thought the ending to SEVEN or sixth sense was a shocker then you should be blown away by the ending of SAW. Overall, I was very pleased with SAW and hope that this will inspire others to create more jaw dropping movies like SAW.
This movie was definitely worth seeing. I thought it had a very interesting story line, and the actors portrayed their roles well, regardless of what anyone says. I honestly feel that those who feel the acting was poor were looking for the wrong things in this movie and just felt the need to criticize something. The acting wasn’t Oscar caliber (and it didn’t need to be since the subject matter was so twisted and compelling) but it wasn’t horrible. I was surprised that it wasn’t as gory or scary as I thought it would be, but that was ok because the movie moved at a good pace and kept me wanting more. However, the best part of this movie wa
Bad acting, for sure. Kept my attention, though. The scare factor is high, but the disgusting, gross factor higher. Good movie if you like that stuff.
It was fun
Excelent Movie!!!! The Best
I found that this movie wasn`t thrilling, more like wayy messed up! It`s only scary if you put yourself in the actors` positions. The end leaves annoying threads untied. I would say it`s an ok movie, but the acting wasn`t so hot.
Very disturbing movie. I had my head down most of the movie. The ending freaked me out. Some people like movies like this if you are one of them you will love this movie. I do wish it would of ended different, the ending is somthing I dreamed of. It worth seeing it atleast once but not with kids.
IT WAS FRICKEN SCARY...and really disturbing...but overall it was a good movie!!! good job!!
I thought the story was great but the doctor`s acting was as bad as the story was great. Mike
awesome movie, ...very disturbing, a little funny here and there and the story line was amazing, nothing you`ve ever seen before for sure! the ending was really good... the acting wasn`t that great but overall this movie ROCKED!!! GO SEE IT!!
Initially, the movie seemed to be good, setting up for something interesting. The puzzle factor is nice, but then the movie gets long and boring. The ending was mediocre, it made me smile (though it wasn`t meant for that, i just thought it was funny in context). There were a few scenes which made me gringe, but nothing near what i was expecting. Overall, You only need to see this movie once. i`d maybe watch it again (not in theatre), but to pick out plot holes and continuity flaws.
I wouldn`y say it was scary, but it was sooo intense! I loved it. You will never guess the ending.
How could you people say this movie was terrible? i loved it! it was an awsome movie i definately reccomend seeing it. now i have to go see the movie seven everyone is talking about.
This movie rocked hard, an awesome puzzle type scenario like seven. It was done well, and the opening scene I felt was disturbing. 5 out of 5, but dam, why the actor from Princess Bride. I was waiting for him to say...."Well, this isn`t as bad as the trecherous fire swamp!"
Absolutely terrible movie. The dialogue is vacuous, the acting is shockingly bad and the `horror` factor gets lost in a convoluted, hilariously predictable, non-sensical story line filled with bad flashbacks and even more terrible acting. Easily one of the worst films I have ever seen. Save your money.
SAW is most definitely one of the *best* movies I`ve ever seen. I was trying to avoid seeing it as I thought it would be low-budget and have no story, but fortunately my friends dragged me out. I was pouting through most of the opening scene, but before I knew it my entire body tensed up and I was totally engrossed until the credits rolled. I used to love serial killer movies but they always spent too much time on the investigation junk. This one had just enough, and it kept my brain busy during the movie, when I went to bed that night, and the following morning. Mostly trying to look for holes, or might I say "dig" for holes, `cause there w
A very scary yet hillarious at time movie--A must see
I loved it! Great thriller! Almost as scary as Bridget Jones diary. Leave the wife at home and see it with the guys, wife won`t let you hear the end of it.
Where to begin... a train wreck of a movie highlighted by horrible (and sometimes very laughable) acting and plot holes-a-plenty. Carey Elwes should`ve stayed with his "men in tights" where he belongs. The fact that they set it up to make a sequel is the only frightening thing about this movie. It was a really good concept for a film, however it just fell to pieces somewhere between casting, filming, and editing. My vote: F+ for frustrating but funny.
Over rated - if you really want to see it, wait for it to rent it. Nothing would be lost going from big screen to TV.
this movie was really good.. the ending was amazing in my opinion and it`s one of those movies that made you think...it`s also really funny (eventhough it`s not supposed to be)...the acting was horrible though, they should of got better actors.
Man, SAW IS THE WORST! in a good way of course.
This movie was funny but it wasn`t supposed to be!
This movie was amazing. I thought this was the best thriller since Seven. If you like suspenseful films that leave you at the edge of your set, than this is the movie for you. I give this movie two thumbs up, although at the beginning the acting was a little bad, but overall excellent movie.I would see it again
SAW ROCKS! As a filmgoer, this is just what I`m paying filmmakers to do. Dominate my mind for 2 hours! Some holes in it, but that`s OK. That`s what you do is go over it with your friends after the show`s over. GREAT JOB, WAN AND WHANNELL. DON`T DO SAW 2. Please. Do another one just as good.
The best horror film ive ever seen. I was scarred well after the credits rolled. This is not a Disney film.
I went into the theatre after having read some of the early reviews on this site and I must say that unlike those people I did not find anything in this movie that would compare to "SEVEN" or " CUBE". Having said that I must say that this movie was ambitious if nothing else. Too bad it doesn`t pull it off.
Good movie. I enjoyed it. what a twist in the end
Excellent Movie for this Genre
Decent movie overall. I wish I had rented it instead. That said however it has some great scenes and a killer ending. Cary Elwes was terrible.
A terrific psychological thriller that is destined to become a cult classic. Mediocre acting at times do not rob this movie of anything. Must see.
wow that movie was so horrible... i couldnt stand sitting through it, but thanks anyways
Scary movie but the end will piss you off.
really really bad! it was so frustrating to watch! so illogical so beyong unrealistic! this is the story of a new young director who is so excited about getting amovie deal, he forgets he shooting a movie and `saw` is the result! very bad, very boring, pales in comparison to classics like 7
Wish I hadn`t seen it... a rental
A movie that brings psycological-thrillers back on the track. Haven´t seen a movie like this since cube and seven. A must see movie for all those who liked the movie´s mentioned above.
I found the movie to be more creepy than scary. I had so many questions when it was over and wondered why he chose some of the people he did besides of the obvious reasons. I wasn’t completely satisfied with the ending. Thought it needed something more. Overall it was an OK movie.
awesome movie!
this movie is awesome. the ending is superb...really amazing
Scariest movie of all time!!!!
Fantastic movie - I had to see it twice.
I don`t know why everyone keeps saying the acting was bad. I thought the acting was great! "Adam" was adorable and hilarious!! It was definitely a freaky movie and the ending was a total shocker! There has to be a sequel! Adam must live!!!
It was awesome very mind twisting..
